Selecting Metronome Sounds; Selecting Outputs For The Metronome - Boss BR-1600CD Owner's Manual

Selecting metronome sounds

Now that we can hear the metronome, let's select sounds to
be used.
1. Make sure that PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM
[ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] is extinguished (you're
in Pattern mode).
If this button's indicator is lit (which means you're in
Arrangement mode), press PROGRAMMABLE
RHYTHM [ARRANGEMENT/PATTERN] to turn it off.
2. Press PROGRAMMABLE RHYTHM [EDIT].
The Pattern Selection screen will appear.

3. Move the cursor to "METRONOME" and select a
sound type using the TIME/VALUE dial.
Available sound types
BEEP:
This sets up a beep-type metronome, with a higher-
pitched beep being used for the first beat of each
measure.
CLICK:
This sets up a click-type metronome, with a louder click
being used for the first beat of each measure.
4. When you have selected the type of sound you want to
use, press [EXIT/NO] several times to return to the top
screen.
5. If you wish to store the sound-type selection, save the
current song (p. 72).
The sound-type selection will be used both in
Arrangement mode and in Pattern mode.
